a reasonable request. I think the problem is that ACC does seem to be a mostly left-wing ideology.

Who are you calling a loon who cannot get his story straight?!?!?!?

When did I say the MWP did not occur at all??!?!

Please quote me

It would really help, IF you caught up on the 1st of the 3 R's - Reading!!!

1) It is Climate Change, NOT Global Warming!
And, there are reasons for the "Climate Change" name.

2) Climate scientists are NOT simply saying that everywhere & all times, will be warmer.
In fact, IF you did some reading, you would discover that some areas will have more rain events, some will have more snow events, some will have more heat, BUT across the entire planet, IT WILL BE WARMER, but that heat will have other effects, in addition to just heat.


Extreme Wet
A warmer climate spurs the evaporation of water from land and sea and allows the atmosphere to hold more moisture—thus setting the stage for more extreme precipitation.

Extreme precipitation is likely when a storm passes through a warmer atmosphere holding more water. In warmer months, it takes the form of torrential rainstorms; in winter, blizzards are more likely.

Whether precipitation falls as rain or snow, these extremes can heighten the risk of flood, and cause economic and social disruptions for communities unprepared to cope.

Wet places tend to get wetter. Atmospheric circulation over oceans, plains, and mountains helps determine where rainforests thrive and semi-arid regions develop. However, wet places tend to get wetter and dry places dryer in a warming world—as is already occurring today. Places now wetter than the historical average include Northern Europe, eastern North and South America, and northern and central Asia.

Yet even as rainfall occurs in heavier events, the periods between these extremes are likely to become longer, warmer, and drier. Scientists expect these trends to intensify if our carbon emissions continue unabated.

You really do need to do a little reading, Longy!

This movie, may be based on REAL events!

As usual Longy, you only elect to see, what you want to see!

The information in the Wikipedia article is perfectly fine, BUT similar info is readily available from many other sources, NOT that you would listen to anything, which disagreed with your preset notions of how things should be! 


That said, at least you can rely on the likeable way you treat other members, as your redeemer of 1st & only choice???

quoting wikipedia in university is an automatic fail. Ever wonder why? is it because it is edited by ANYONE? because perhaps even turnips like you can post a definition of something despite being a moron?

quote a credible source and you might get some discussion, but wikipedia is a joke.

Like I said, there are plenty of other sources of good, reliable information (as follows), BUT Wikipedia is generally as good a reference centre as anything else.

In any event, try NASA, DH (Alias G-M, aka Longy, aka Rip Van Winkle).
